I've also asked the question

O:

tinwateringcan ALSO I ASSUME SILVER IS LIKE... fine... But I couldn't find explicit post peril plotting for him so just so you know. He IS on the list of People Walter Makes Sure Are Fine

Walter did get a little brainwashed

Aww. It's sweet!

Justine just walking past doing points to eyes, points to walter but in a very posh, aristocratic way.

I got a little bit swamped the last few weeks oocly, so I didn't end up threading out any of the Silver stuff for the ship flipping, but he's in one piece, just upset

Justine knife

🗡️. Well when there's not a 🗡️ 💖 emoji who cares. You get me

Loool, I do!

And if there is ever a moment she thinks he's alone, she's gonna take that knife to him

Justine is using some fan to make the gesture

Like one of those big lists of fan gestures

Justine :|

WOW. THE MODS ACTUALLY WERE SO NICE AND SAID YES ON PLAYING THREADS SET AS BARGE RAIDS IN THE PAST. HOORAY

yay!

Did you want them to meet up?

If that is fun for you then sure!

I am chipping away at our old thread so either way is good

I meant Walter

Yes true haha Wu Xin is a newcomer on the Narrenschiff and cannot meet Dio. I am still chipping away at the Walter and Wu Xin karaoke thread but new thread is still welcome for them if that is what you want

Only wish you're comfortable with. Don't want to overwhelm things

yes yes yes good

Justine is getting her blood, dammit! So just lmk when you'd ever want to do that?

waningsunflower: maybe I could add a prompt of heading to the galley that would fit better for creeping? Narrenschiff is conveniently crowded, RIP Justine

Works for me!

I do also think it would be very funny if Walter got cut then went into the infirmary and saw Malcolm

Sorry I still have not written galley prompt for real since Sweeney prompt was different. It might be another day or two so I can give Justine my full attention!

Sorry for being a troublemaker

No no no problem! I am the one who got distracted and was like "yay! I get to do this new thing!"

The burden of the New Thing; I know it well (given the impulsive wildcarding instead of just waiting)

It's also so funny like
Walter: well, if things ever get really bad and I need to actually work (compared to less essential library), maybe cooking is okay
[Walter does a food tampering immediately before a situation where he really should actually work]
Walter: wait

,,,Yeah, no one's letting you anywhere near a kitchen, Walter.

Unfortunately, the Narrenschiff folks probably will, because no one's likely to tell them that Walter's a food-tampering psycho.

I can't imagine that there won't be barge people guarding the kitchen too (because I'm sure they all trust the Narrenschiff's cooks just as much)

He does know a lot of people were told something happened. And there's still no specific evidence they'll never be brought back to the admiral where he'll be subject to restrictions again.

If something did seem to be seriously getting in the way of the return to the admiral and require more significant help with food, then he might go for it

Sweeney's only just finding out from Arthur that his food was fucked with. You're fine, Walter

FINE FOR NOW...
But also, barge characters "guarding" the kitchen would surely be viewed quite poorly by Narrenschiff ers, no?

Probably, yeah.

Anyone from the Barge who's paranoid about breaking bread with them can just stick to their own supplies, there's absolutely no justification for "guarding" the kitchen in someone else's house.

(There's also, like...no indication anyone's doing that.)

Yea... which I'm surprised. Lol. But not so much 'guarding' as 'trying to take on kitchen duties'.

I think most of the Bargizens see themselves as guests and/or hostages, so they aren't typically making any power plays or dick measuring contests

So they're not showing up for meal times? Or just trusting the food they serve in the kitchens?

Seems to be a mix.

There are a couple of Barge folks using the kitchen to cook, but there's been no, like...trying to muscle the Narrenschiff people out.

The commune handles some food stuff local to their space, if people don't want to eat what's otherwise provided

Oh, I was thinking more like... working alongside them. Not strong arming them out, but just having someone in there at the same time to cook for their own people, etc.
(Do they even have meal times?) Since there's no like... set duties.

There are no set duties, but there are a few NS people who have been established as working in the kitchen on the regular.

Not having enforcement from on high doesn’t mean no one’s going to step up and do the work themselves.

Wasn't sure how organized or chaotic the place is.

Walter should absolutely find out Malcolm is in the infirmary by going there for a cut.

Walter already knows Malcolm is there, just, been """not bothering""" him

WALTER.

I have a certain other TLV thing I'm gonna do, then Dio tags are the main goal to make sure is done tonight

Me realizing Walter fully would need Sweeney to kneel for him to whisper in his ear

lol...

lol

That wouldn't be a problem

It's worth it

Walter, whispering: This place is a cult.

That is not a secret

He can tell it's probably supposed to be personal lol

Good call

At this point Walter has bleakly accepted that pretty much everyone who knows what a cult is, has made their decision on whether or not the barge is a cult

Maybe some teenagers might not really know about it

tbf, Sweeney thinks it's an ant farm

IT'S FUCKIN HAPPENING
and Im out here googling the meds as best I can and trying to determine what the fuck Walter would try to triage out of this. Malcolm why are you on two different serotonin medications

I want you to know I seriously debated having him specify dosages but then I found out like 4mg is a high range for a risperdone tablet, unlike all the others with like 100 mg or so, so like, dealer's choice.

walter why are you fucking like this (please don't stop i'm absolutely delighted)

HE'S
HELPING

the cap'n's steering is literally better though depending on your point of view (of what's deliberate etc). there are fewer floods and breaches

A CERTAIN THING

Sephchama BBitsaboi onemuon

old starter for posterity

Egg. Delicate?

it's Wu Xin is bald like an egg

..... Wtf? /died laughing

LOL

nobody else has to get involved in the thread it is up to you
but just so people are aware
it is funny

Omg. This could be the perfect in for teaching Wu Xin emoji.

This is during flipped Enposib rescue?

Yes!

yes. you do not HAVE to get involved I just didnt want to godmod your character

so you are Notified

XD is fine. I'm rather happy about people involving the little egghead.

Pyotr gets rescued by Kahl, and it will be soon after this, so there is no need for anyone to worry about him or do anything either

(mainly relevant to Abel)

Wu Xin is available to help if nothings been predetermined

so if that's the case, probably Walter will not actually have to turn this Wu Xin around and the main benefit will be reassuring Pyotr that the island is ahead. hooray

Yeah, him getting rescued by Kahl is predetermined.

Pyotr will send another text (from his own communicator) to walter soon

I did think Walter should teach Wu Xin emoji xD well this is an exciting time

also walter getting that message from Abel is so LOL

"an episode" this is so funny to me in terms of things that are this close to making Walter wonder about Pyotr's undiagnosed physical medical conditions

Imagine Abel waking up to that interchange in his communicator

Ah, there's his answer.

It's terrifying, lol. To Walter

Abel is just relaying information.

and he has no idea what is wrong with Pyotr, but...episode is the most accurate >>

If you want, you can say Wu Xin stopped in the middle of the ocean, just standing on water to read that message if you want Wu Xin involved. But he can't run on water and read someone's communicator at the same time.

He's good with codes, but just receiving a message with an egg on it is ridiculous xD I was thinking either delicate or safe, but wasn't sure

If it's literally just Wu Xin that's hilarious

Right?? XD like what is an egg supposed to mean?

if you are open to it Seph, I will write a comment with Walter saying some stuff out loud

Yup, I'm open to jumping in if walter gives him the cue.

Btw, Walter isn't injured, just needs ferrying?

Walter hit his head but he isn't bleeding so he plans to get through this without intensive treatment or healing magic. being ferried TO a place where he can lie down is more important than anything else

Does Wu Xin want to hop in or am I cleared to tag?

I think Pyotr -> Abel -> Walter -> Wu Xin as the core order makes sense, like not all four each time but I do think Wu Xin next makes the most sense

Kk

Might be easier to say he's on Wu Xin's back. Cause otherwise Wu Xin is carrying him either like a sack of potatoes or dragging him by the back of his collar. Lol

that's a good point, Walter's body would flop around. Back is good. It would also explain why typing is SO HARD

Yeah, dragging someone running/flying would be nuts if it was by the arm. His arm would dislocate.

Your friends are weird Pyotr.

Lol! Walter, are you having an episode too? XD typing all these weird nonsense.

"with boy" LOL

I am glad everyone appreciates the inherent comedy of with boy. I will do next reply if Pyotr is still not ready

I can reply

well, give me a moment

maybe walter can reply

then pyotr

ya

there

how much time would have passed by now, would you say?

15 minutes?

Oh! I actually wrote this at first but thought it might be restrictive. Basically I imagined Pyotr and Abel sent the message around 10 minutes after the crash and then Walter received it 5 minutes later at 15 minutes

so likewise Walter spent about ten minutes getting rescued by Eric alongside frankie, then five minutes picking up Wu Xin's call and heading to that rendezvous point

oh, no, i meant how long would it have been since pyotr sent the text?

this might be my brain wanting things a little too exact... it doesnt really matter timey wimey etc

Oh okay. then yeah in my head Walter opened the audio feed ten minutes after Pyotr's text was sent

Oh, Oops. I answered, cause he's piggying on Walter's. I can delete?

i think youre good

Wu Xin, first 🥚 then 'boy'

Then Abel getting a 💡moment

there's basically only two "boys" on the entire barge

I hope this is good to keep posted yeah, since Pyotr wouldn't directly react to Wu Xin's comment anyway at the moment

Who's the second? Allen?

yes

and Walter doesn't hang around him really

Edwin is 16 forever. other Edwin looks like a teenager as well.

wait going to edit something

okay, there, decided not to mention the island yet just to allow for more flexibility regarding timelines

Abel, you're too easily fooled.

omg this is so funny to me because I was actually thinking to myself about how alarmed Walter would be at the imprecise response and then I was like "oh boy! Pyotr got spoiled on the island! whew!" BUT NO

I am going to go to bed, but just so you know, Pyotr, if he could see that, he'd be disappointed.

GOOD

And I wouldn't say Abel is easily fooled, he's too easily trusting, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with that in his situation, honestly. If he see's that Pyotr is safe on the beach later? He did his due diligence.

ok, I actually think that maybe Abel response in the morning is the way to go? might be less irresponsible for me to not stay up myself

agreed, i need to go to bed too

Pyotr got to safety like he told him to and he's not dead.

Win win.

Pyotr is going to say Erskine rescued him

But yes, Y'all go to sleep, I'm drifting off xD

maybe, if he can get away with that lie

To be fair to Abel, most normal people wouldn't try to con away help in an emergency disaster.

but the barge doesn't collect normal people...

also if island makes all this less complicated i can put it back

I think the point is Pyotr is safe

I think the way it is will convey the concern and still not be too complicated lol like Pyotr can maybe just slip a detail in one tag round later

because keeping it the way it is will convey the story where Walter can notice things might be wrong, which may be a big logical leap but he is genuinely concerned about Pyotr's will to live

okay!

Because he’s been on meds for twenty years and they gotta cocktail them up now! Plus he has multiple PROBLEMS in that area!

My good warden perhaps you should have considered this in light of an occupation with severe hazards

Does risperidone come as one of those three month injections

lol well rip if it does; he takes a pill every morning. but he's more concerned about the alprazolam than the others even if he shouldn't be. as he puts it, he's wildly dependent on benzos.

God damn I could NOT find which one was the benzos (this should have been pretty obvious but I'm trying to be realistic with Walter going off memories). I ended up having Walter go with "sertaline if you have to pick one" because SSRI withdrawal can be so bad.

But if he remembered then god help us, tranquilize that boy

But Malcolm this is literally your job! Place where two random weeks out of three months, you could suddenly be in a bad situation without your meds!

the Admiral hasn't let him down yet!

but yeah if he ends up having to deal with sertraline withdrawal he will probably regret that priority 😆

It is tough because he's also on a SARI and I don't know if withdrawal that one is much better, particularly given the combination. But Walter tried and therefore no one can criticize him

thats how it works for wardens, right? they're trying!!!!

update
To Scully he goes

IT IS HOW IT WORKS FOR WARDENS. They have good hearts!! Your brain!!

it looks like its a success either way, its either in the infirmary or the cap'n will grant the request

Yes, good news!

that's how it works for inmates too, u ridiculous little man.

it's why they get consequences for their actions that aren't 30 years in prison 😑

In thinking to myself about whether there's examples of "you can live your truth on the Narrenschiff and not literally stay the same, but there's no incentive" the way I wrote for Dio. I might find a way to have that information proliferate somehow

Cause I am thinking about IC ways to try to scheme for the energy to be redirected so inmates can revive and go home without cooperating with Admiral/Barge

yessssssssss

I was inspired by this by remembering the concept that the secret group members "resist" graduation (cooperation with Admiral Barge)

Max would so try to help

hell yeah max

lenga and i were talking about how narrenschiffers seem surprisingly supportive or at worst simply neutral of the barge and its hierarchy, whereas it seems like at least some should be firmly against the warden/inmate set up or view it cynically

I think a lot of them do view it cynically, they just aren't talking to the Barge people about that, because what's the point.

Y'all love your prison ship and are crying to go back to it, so just go.

valid

(They also know it's not like they can keep the inmates and kick the wardens off.)

pyotr: please please figure out how to keep me, i will voluntarily feed your vampires

Yeah I also haven't seen too much of the barge characters to share their negative experiences. Me I really do have a low ratio of NS threads so if I can like curate and do that with Max, it's a good idea

Yeah exactly. Bossie thinks the Barge is BULLSHIT and wants nothing to do with it. He just also wants all of you hooligans to go back to your dumb ship and stop hurting his

ushiromiya maria never did anything wrong everbarge fitz

100%

ushiromiya maria never did anything wrong ever barge...

actually this is every fitz

ushiromiya maria never did anything wrong ever JG

Barge Fitz is about five years specifically

BBitsaboi: reminder Abel ups

Oh...I didn't realize that it was me sorry!

No problem, I definitely thought it would be possible to misunderstand and planned in advance to ping! A bit later in the day when I was more free

No worries <3

My method acting of writing this on my phone in the car

Alright reiterating the Pyotr -> Abel -> Walter -> Wu Xin so sephchama you are next

If you would not like to skip

Also the mention of Yelena is technically a little timey wimey cause it shows up in the comm as Yelena right before Wu Xin. So this made sense to me for the story. But. Her post is actually set at dawn which is hours after the wave at "nightfall"

Oh, thanks!

Oh shit, thank you. I was just thinking of what Abel got up to, so.

Am I up next?

I think Wu Xin can skipped unless Walter replies audibly

I think it is my turn, I will get to it as soon as I finish this other tag

Great I am looking at this now

Abel signed off, all yours y'all!

THANK YOU FOR ABEL Yes within tonight I will manage to complete The Alchemy of finding a way to close this and segue into the part that is just Walter and Pyotr

Wu Xin might jokingly ask if Walter wants to be a monk mow.

now

I posted the thing. Walter mispronouncing a term is intentional on my part (unintentional on his)

maybe this thread can continue between walter and wu xin

and i can post a new starter on the island

for pyotr and walter

Yeah, I was going to say branch is welcome. Like there can be a Walter & Wu Xin portion in parallel with a Walter & Pyotr portion. But if you'd like to wait and do Pyotr portion strictly afterwards then sure. If it's like "Wu Xin quickly returned to ferrying others" then sure.

Or new starter is also good rather than physical branch

a branch works too!

Yeah, he's still got a bit of ferrying to do. Or cat saving. And bird saving.

Also I see Misty's reply to my entry now and
Moment of silence for no Narrenschiff Misty which is an immediate concern

There seems to be none but I mean he really might wonder it for a second

God I finally checked Wu Xin's height again. I had already been pretty sure but he is straight up a few inches taller than Walter

how tall is he?

Wu Xin is 180 cm almost 5'11". Walter is this height which I have as 5'6" in my permissions post though when I googled again for cm some sources are saying EVEN SHORTER???

he is a good few inches taller than what i imagine pyotr's height too

walter even shorter, rip

Reminder of this yellowjackets height chart. Lottie is tol, Natalie (as well as Shauna, Taissa, and Van) are medium, Misty is smol

I want to believe Walter had feelings for Misty as Agent AfricanGrey before knowing her appearance or even her gender, but I do also believe he likes when women are shorter than him lol. Real Miles Vorkosigan and Cavillo moment

I got it from official source, but I'm personally thinking, how the heck is an Asian with no hair that tall?

I think that's later on the list of implausible things than "he can walk on water"

Buddhist, Asian Jesus

I did almost have him say "Asian Jesus" haha

/face palm so hard and just laughing

He didn't get that reference at all and thinks they're referring to Barge Jesus.

well that one was typed

also, perhaps Walter should have had some more reaction to Abel being involved since Pyotr told him some stuff about that incident, but I will put some details on his thoughts in a later thread when it is more suitable to taking the time. (I had an idea that Walter might try to say the drugs were planted by Allan...)

or later part of the one-on-one thread at least

Which incident?

WAY back when the plan was for the post-karaoke thread to have Pyotr threaten Walter about the drugs, i.e. "I planted drugs on you because then it would look like you were involved with Jacob brainwashing Hilbert who attacked Abel"

so the basic thinking was like "oh man, Pyotr is reacting intensely if he's freaked out by Abel... wait, if that incident occurred, maybe Pyotr does have beef with Abel??"

ah, gotcha, yes, i thought it might be that

but then I decided not to put a detailed thing there because it could get framed pretty differently (e.g. if Pyotr did go out of his way to say Abel's involvement was totally off the rails from the plan)

yeah, tbh, i havent written out what he would have said.. 🙃

so yeah probably at a later point in the one on one thread it will convert to prose For The Feels and I will run any thoughts related to that by you for approval

sounds good!

also part of what gave me this energy was "it's not jesus just JOHHHHHHHHHHHHHN THE BAPTIST" but that's not even TLV Pyotr lmao let alone Walter knowing

LOL

Folks I caught up on this post a bit ago so that's it for tonight

bong water (@syIvaina) on XBarge negative characters thinking all of these except literally zombies

Sorry, I couldn't help myself

I'M FUCKING LOSING IT THIS IS LITERALLY THE RATIO BETWEEN SWEENEY AND HIM

Sam was a Warden for a bit, and if Maggie hadn't already been picked to be his Warden, he would have been. As it is, they enjoyed the greenhouse and smoking pipes together

It was cute

alright Im technically on top of my post still. I have non-post stuff I really should hit. but today I've sorta just had brain-bees and not looked at a lot of stuff. I'm getting dinner and things like that, and will be doing some nighttime tags afterwards

but Walter has his shirt. I was thinking of setting Galley Prompt after he has his shirt. It would also be very funny to see how Justine may just immediately compromise the shirt

my situation is catch up on stuff -> new Justine thread as a reward -> continue to catch up on stuff and wait for frog news to drop -> new Nana thread as a reward

ok with all the Wu Xin bald jokes
I realize I keep forgetting to say
I actually seriously considered Walter's villain era where he shaves his head like Walter White but ultimately I found out Jesse Pinkman had been in the game so I put on the kibosh

HEISENBERG ENERGY... well he has normal (very short) hair here but still

Has there been more bald jokes that I missed?

no just these ones

Wu Xin is such a playful thing. Lol. Walter, you're indulging his teasing too much.
